Crager S/S issues

I have a 67 Barracuda with a set of direct drilled Crager S/S wheels 5 on 4 mopar bolt pattern 7/16 -20 lug thread.
My issue is when I torque the lugs to the specified 75 ft/lbs it bends the lug washer bad, even brand new Crager lug sets that I that just put on. It is like the washers a to soft. Is this normal/safe?
Thanks in advance for your reply
PS My old lugs/washers were bent just as bad I doubt they ever held torque.
